Exodus 20:1-20-
And God spoke all these
words: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of
Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
(1)
You
shall have no other gods before me.
(2)
You
shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything
in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters
below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for
I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the
children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth
generations of those who hate me, but showing love to a
thousand generations of those who love me and keep my
commandments.
(3)
You
shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord
will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
(4)
Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you
shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a
Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any
work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your
manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien
within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the
heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but
he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed
the Sabbath day and made it holy.
(5)
Honor
your father and your mother, so that you may live long in
the land the Lord your God is giving you.
(6)
You
shall not murder.
(7)
You
shall not commit adultery.
(8)
You
shall not steal.
(9)
You
shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
(10)You
shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet
your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his
ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
When the
people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet
and saw the mountain in smoke, they trembled with fear.
They stayed at a distance and said to Moses, “Speak to us
yourself and we will listen. But do not have God speak to
us or we will die”. Moses said to the people, “Do not be
afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God
will be with you to keep you from sinning”.
